ecause as we were heading out of Haines Falls the sky began to clear and we suddenly found ourselves with a rare treat.Having Kaaterskill Falls completely to ourselves.Not too often that you drive past that parking lot empty
Very rare to see that parking lot empty. When we drove past Bastion Falls on Sunday, it was actually flowing okay. And, the packing lot was absolutely packed by 10:30am on Sunday.

After a big rain (5+ inches) I will head over to KF after work. Very few people there, and great views from the base. Best time to visit KF is later in the afternoon after a good rain. If there is 10+ inches of rain, then it becomes very dangerous to hike up there.

Sounds like your trip turned out pretty good.
